We'll keep this momentum going into the new year!
In just the past month, #MedicareForAll has gained 7 new cosponsors, bringing us to 17 in the Senate and 111 in the House.

More members of Congress are joining us to recognize that the only solution to our health care crisis is Medicare for All. Our movement is growing!

"...I think that this is an issue where lobbyists are particularly influential in their ability to stop cost containment policies from being put into effect."

We must continue our fight for affordable healthcare! #MedicareForAll

People are about to be hit with big increases to their healthcare costs. But why don't we have an all encompassing option if the majority of the country wants it?

We can do better with expanded Medicare! #MedicareForAll

Poverty and poor health are a deadly mix.

Every WHO region has made strides in expanding health service coverage.

But only three regions—Africa, South-East Asia and the Western Pacific— have managed to ease the financial strain on families.

Majority of Americans now back Medicare for All — even if it ends private insurance and raises taxes.

A new poll shows a stunning 50-point shift in just six years.

As @levernews.com states: “The tipping point is here because the ACA is failing to keep health care affordable.” tinyurl.com/y8s95kmk

"In a new survey, Data for Progress finds that 65% of voters support a Medicare for All system — described as a 'national health insurance program…that would cover all Americans and replace most private health insurance plans.'" The people want change!

"Our healthcare system isn’t just complicated, it’s expensive. [...] The average family pays $27,000 annually for their health insurance (up 6% from last year)." Medicare for All won't just be getting everyone the care they need, but will help financially, too!

"Over the past two decades, the cost of employer-sponsored health insurance—how the vast majority of privately insured Americans obtain their health care—has skyrocketed." The current system is not feasible!
